At the TSSU General Membership meeting on Monday 23rd October, a presentation was made of proposed language changes to the union's By-Laws and Policies. The central focus of these changes relates to the introduction of a new Salaried Officer position, proposing a second Chief Steward role, in order to address long-running overwork issues on the advocacy side of the organization.

If accepted, TSSU's Salaried Officer positions will be Coordinator, Organizer, Chief Steward I, and Chief Steward II. One major difference between the proposed Chief Steward II position and the other existing roles is that it is salaried at 15 hours/week, rather than 25 hours/week.

At the next TSSU General Membership meeting on Wednesday 22nd November, in Harbour Centre 2245, 4.30pm-6.30pm, members will be asked to vote on whether these proposed changes are accepted or not.

The proposed changes can be read in full in this document, which shows the current language alongside highlighted changes. Note that only those By-Laws and Policies affected by the proposed changes are included in this document.
